Silvia Bluejay Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Bass Guitar Magazine has been raising funds for pro bassist and staff writer Ellen O'Reilly, who has been diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer and is undergoing all sorts of unpleasant chemotherapy, keeping her off work until she is better. LBGS exhibitor Strings&Things donated this bass with a view to getting it signed by as many stars as possible and then auctioning it for Ellen. This is the link, in case any of you would like to own the bass, and help. Many thanks from all at BGM!

Burns-bass Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Worthy cause and a great idea. Good luck, and I hope Ellen gets better soon. Horrible disease that has touched us all at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 S&T donated one to the Herts Bash which we had signed by Jools Hollands R&B Orchestra before raffling it off.....Andy Cocklin (CEO) is a Bassist himself and a totally fine gentleman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 It has 8 bids already, hope it reaches a tidy sum for Ellen. I have a friend dealing with this same type of cancer at the moment, she has had a hellish time of it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
